Chad is a great trainer and a great motivator. This is a full service boxing gym with individual and group training, for men, women and children wanting to get in shape, wanting self discipline and self confidence. He has a full supply of equipment. I have years of experience working out in professional boxing gyms .and Chad's gym ranks among the best in equipment, professional guidance as well as cleanliness. I'm an 81 year old man keeping my self in shape and this will be my go to place every time I'm in Sarasota

I'm 64 years old and I have been going to fighting gyms since I was 16 years old. Gulf Gate Boxing Gym is the best gym I have ever been at in my entire life and I've been at at least 20 different Gyms across several States. The owner and teacher Chad is the most experienced Teacher and Trainer that I have ever met, BAR NONE. If you want to learn to fight and you want a Gym that has everything you need with a owner/ Teacher who can teach you better than anyone else on this planet then you want to go give Gulfgate Boxing Gym and the Owner Chad an opportunity to turn you into a Lethal Weapon that will be able to protect yourself from any situation for the rest of your life. This is a crime ridden society and you are never safe and at no time in life has a population needed to learn how to defend themselves like you need to learn how to defend yourself now. This gym has everything whether you're looking for Bodybuilding with Weight Machines, Weights, Treadmills, Spin Bikes. Any type of Physical Conditioning you're looking for, you will find in this absolutely unbelievable Gym but nothing is cheaper than talk. Simply walk and find out yourself and you will become a member on the spot because you CAN NOT be disappointed from anything lacking especially when it comes to the teacher Chad himself!

My boyfriend and I had a private session with Chad and he took time to ask what we were looking to learn and then guided us through an entire session of mitt work and conditioning. It was awesome and he's a wonderful trainer! Highly recommend if you're looking for real boxing and an incredible workout.

Everyone who goes to this gym is family. From day one Chad welcomed me in just the same. He made some accommodations and was flexible about billing dates. The classes and pricing is on point. Whatever your fitness goals are, Chad will get you right. I signed up in January and usually make three classes a week. It’s a good mix of cardio and high intensity with a nice mix of boxing techniques. Chad knows his stuff and will show you how to box. He also knows how to push you! His classes are no joke and he doesn’t play around. So if you want a no nonsense workout and want to get your mind and body right, Gulf Gate is the place.

First walking in, you are greeted with an awesome smile and great energy. Coach Chad is an great guy. Absolutely amazing how open he is to letting you use the gym and the equipment and allowing you to lead yourself to success. You automatically feel like family and feel great about the environment your in. I’m can’t be more grateful about the opportunity to get better and be more disciplined moving forward.

Chad the owner is a great coach and person. He has a passion for boxing and it clearly shows! From booking a private session or joining one of his classes. This is my go to gym when I’m in Sarasota !! Gulf gate boxing !!

Gulf Gate Boxing has become a home to me, I started back in 2023 and the guys there have become my family, no big egos, nobody trying to be better than anyone, just good work and good vibes. Chad, the owner, is a one of a kind human being, they don’t make em like him anymore, if tit have a goal or aspiration, he will make it his mission to push you until you get there, thank you guys for everything, if you’re ever in town come down to gulf gate boxing and have a workout of a lifetime, you might leave with lifelong friendships, stories, and a hell of a workout!

My family and I were down in the Venice area for vacation. Our son has a boxing tournament coming up so we looked at gyms where he could get some work in and Chad was the first to respond very promptly. He invited us in and the vibe there was amazing. Chad was very accommodating and pulled out all the stops for our son. So I highly recommend if you're visiting or live here you definitely need to check out Gulf Gate Boxing Gym! We definitely will be back.

This Gym is a special place, every time you walk in you are greeted with smiles. The owner of the gym Chad Sulrich, is a great guy that has moved around and you can tell he just WANTS to make people better. He does not HAVE to be there but he is a people person. The equipment is beautiful and the facility is awesome. But if you want to meet great people, in a great area, and make yourself better you go train for Chad. Thank you coach for making me a better man for my family, and a better person. God Bless!

Coach Chad is a great man, and knowledgeable Coach who runs a great place to learn! He recently opened his gym to a Mixed Martial Artist who has a Championship fight on 12.1.23, and allowed the fighter to have access to the gym at all times! Much respect to the Gulf Gate Boxing Gym and Coach Chad!

Absolutely love coming here! My husband and I have made it our Saturday morning routine to go to the boxing Bootcamp together. Chad does a great job giving us a great work out while having fun! I have personally hired Chad for personal one on one boxing and have completed 10 sessions. (More to come!) He has done an incredible job teaching me the right skills, giving me a great workout, listening to what I want to experience while having a ridiculous amount of fun! 30 mins flies by!! He is very flexible and easy to work with. Gym is clean, he makes sure you are working out safely and the people that come to class are really friendly too!! Come try it!!
